The restful Burgers Park is named after ineffective ZAR president Thomas Burgers, who was in office between 1873 and 1877. The park has a good botanical garden, a quirkily designed curator's house and a pavilion at its centre, once the preserve of brass bands and all-white tea parties, but now multiracial and a good place to relax.
